The island of Korcula is the jewel in the crown of Croatian chic – often seducing the world's elite to her pristine shores

It was there that the Duchess of Cambridge's much loved designer Issa made a little piece of history this summer, offering up her precious threads to headline the very first collective international pop up boutique

The fashion extravaganza took place at Lesic Dimitri Palace hotel – a restored 18th Century haven that proudly reigns as Korcula's five star tsar and is carving a niche as a formidable force on the isle's cultural scene

Lesic Dimitri's tailored tourism is an innovative strategy, and perfectly complements the warm, luxurious hospitality found in the suites of their restored 18th Century Palace

Hidden within the walls of the charming medieval town of Korcula, the palace is within winding alleyways and terracotta-tiled houses

The pop-up boutique was created in just two days
